AM: 4.25 PM: 7.75 including 4x1mile with 200m recovery in 5:31, 5:35, 5:35, 5:49 :( It was simply too fast for that much rest. Maybe with 3min rest I could have done it but with only 60-90seconds recovery it was too much. The last one I simply gave up on. I could have run another 5:35 but it would be racing. I could have run 5:40 with hard effort but I decided that the first 3 were too fast anyway so I just made it tempo pace (not that that was easy at that point). The first 3 alone though predicts a significantly better 5k than I have. Most people can run 3-5 seconds faster pace in a 5k than they can handle for 3 mile repeats on 60-90sec recovery.
